Russia allegedly approved a nuclear power plant detonation plan in Zaporizhzhia.
A Ukrainian Emergency Ministry rescuer attends an exercise in the city of Zaporizhzhia on August 17, 2022, in case of a possible nuclear incident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant located near the city. - Ukraine remains deeply scarred by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe when a Soviet-era reactor exploded and streamed radiation into the atmosphere in the country's north.
This was shared by a Ukrainian military intelligence directorate (GUR). The GUR claims that the Russian government is already reducing its presence at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility.
Will this alleged Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant detonation be another Chornobyl disaster?
Russia Allegedly Approves Nuclear Power Plant Detonation Plan
According to The Guardian's latest report, some employees at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are already relocating to Crimea.
Ukrainian Emergency Ministry rescuers attend an exercise in the city of Zaporizhzhia on August 17, 2022, in case of a possible nuclear incident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant located near the city. - Ukraine remains deeply scarred by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, when a Soviet-era reactor exploded and streamed radiation into the atmosphere in the country's north.
The GUR said that several Rosatom representatives also left the nuclear power facility.
The military intelligence added that Ukrainian staff who signed contracts with the Russian state nuclear energy agency and stayed at Zaporizhzhia were told to evacuate by Monday, July 3.
Although this is quite alarming, former senior engineer Oleksiy Kovynyev said that the explosion is expected to only lead to a partial nuclear meltdown.
This means that it won't be like the Chornobyl disaster in 1986. Instead, the ZNPP detonation will be similar to the 1979 Three Mile Island accident in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
In short, most of the radiation caused by the explosion would be contained within the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility.
"In a normal situation, they are absolutely safe. If you wanted, you could destroy them. You could shell several times," added Kovynyev.
Will the ZNPP Detonation Really Happen?
The Kyiv Post reported that the Ukrainian military intelligence directorate who shared the alleged ZNPP detonation plan is Kyrylo Budanov.
During an interview, the Ukranian military intelligence leader confidently said that the Russian government already fully drafted and approved the ZNPP explosion plan.
Budanov added that the only element missing in the plan is the go-signal for the Russian troops.
"Then, it can happen in a matter of minutes," said the Ukrainian military intelligence leader.
